I guess you could say Sharon got me on a roll with her "hint of black" challenge a few weeks back because, as you can see - I haven't stopped! Just look at my posts this week! It's ok - you can tell me, "put your hands up and step away from the black ink pad!" Maybe I should--huh?Moving on...
This little card was actually my first card that I did for Sharon's challenge. I didn't like it at first, but now it's kind of grown on me. It's a 4 by 4 square and fits perfectly into those little envelopes that Amuse Art Stamps puts out. The black mat is 3-1/2" by 3-1/2" and the center mat with my stamping is 1/8" smaller all the way around. I did use that ticket corner punch from Stamping Up and added my bling there with 3mm crystal rhinestones. I stamped my main image (Design Block Silhouette - Hero Arts), stamped and matted the sentiment (Hero Arts), layered it up, tied some ribbon and added them with a mini glue dot. Nothing to it!
Enjoy today! Thanks for stopping by!

Julie,
I am not sure what happened but I somehow deleted my comment. I am loving all of the black. You must have a million stamps. I really like the ones from the last couple of days. Have a wonderful day.
Black is so universal and it adds many styles, from moody to classy. Red and black is one of my favorite combinations! Great card!
Love your card. That stamp was used in the best way. The colors black and red together great ! Mom
Beautiful Julie! That sentiment is so nice too. I am sitting here at work waiting until the Tuesday morning ladies get here, having my coffee !!
Have a great day ***
Very pretty card. The cards you make are very elegant and you work well with black accents, which I find difficult to do. Great cards and always a pleasure to visit here.
